Re: Scanner pinhole??!

Actually, if you think about it, it is not such an out-there idea. most of
the first phase digital backs for 4x5's where scan back. The only reason a
flat bed scanner emits light is so that it can scan the image inside a dark
box. The actual ccd does emit any light itself. I've thought about
experimenting with scanner back, but i don't have 10k to by a 4x5 scan back
and i highly doubt the school would let me disassemble thiers.
